Closing the form is the easy part. The real job is reading the work, making human decisions, and replying without leaving anybody wondering what happened.
Why this oneThe call is closed. The work now is reading carefully, making human decisions, and answering every person who trusted us with an idea.
01
We read every proposal
The full idea, the work behind it, and the shape it could take in a live room. A score helps us compare unlike things, but it never makes the decision.
02
We build the program
We look across talks, workshops, demos, performances, experiences, panels, and the formats that still do not have names.
03
Everybody gets an answer
Every person who submitted by the August 15 deadline hears from us directly. No black hole.
Stay close to the work
The program takes shape from here.
We will keep announcing speakers and publishing the pieces of the festival as they become real. If you missed the call, you can still be in the room for the conversation.
Futureproof brings people together to compare what AI is really doing across culture, public life, creative work, research, and the things people are building now.
